Except at NCAA Headquarters where the situation room is always dark when underway in circle the wagon defensive maneuvers with nothing but red lights overhead to protect night vision of Emmert and Remy.

I’ll say it again, since it seems to be a concept too difficult for you to understand. His power was turned off because he was spending $600 per month on rent to live off campus. That’s the choose he made. Move back on campus and he has no power problems and an extra $600 in his pocket. Got it now?

I don’t think you’re getting this. I assume you wouldn’t walk into someone else’s house and take a dump on the carpet. You want to come in here and argue with me, fine, be my guest. I enjoy the give and take. The gratuitous insults, not so much.

If you can’t respect my wishes, perhaps you should find another blog where you can be a jerk to your heart’s content. I won’t be offended.

There are plenty of reasons to argue players should be paid, this is not one of them. To say your reaching on this one is an understatement. By the way, because someone challenges your view, you take your ball and go home? You’re a real intellect.

You argue that staying on campus would mean he wouldn’t have a financial problem. The reality is that staying on campus versus off campus is a wash, because of the scholarship money. He’s still broke. And he shouldn’t be, given what he helps the school generate.

As for the rest of your argument, again, I don’t have a problem in the world with being challenged. Just with you showing your ass.

It’s not a wash because you don’t have to pay a power bill if one CHOOSES to live on campus. If he CHOSE to live on campus, then this would have never happened. Living off campus is not a right, it’s a choice.

Get by? You clearly haven’t been to the Butts lately. I guess those Gucci belts, designer jeans and brand new Nike’s are free. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be paid, but this is simply not an example of why they should be. Drive over to Athens, go into the Butts and talk to some folks. Reporters, workers and the boys themselves…do a little first hand homework before you start calling them Oliver Twist.

Soooo… you’re saying Kenny Bell got a job to pay for designer jeans? And all those quotes we’ve seen from players and coaches like Spurrier that some kids simply can’t make ends meet – they’re all FOS? Shabazz Napier was lying when he said he didn’t eat some weekends?

BTW, you keep saying there are good reasons players should be paid. If that’s the case, why do you care so much about what they spend the money on?

For the record, you just used Steve Spurrier as a serious source regarding players needing to be paid. Wow. If you think Steve Spurrier gives one shit about any of his players welfare, you’re further in the weeds than I thought. Again, go to the Butts and see for yourself.
